If no bookmark was used, then C-u inserts the name of the file being visited. This is unclear - "inserts...in the buffer" can give the impression that the last bookmark that was used (anywhere) is inserted in the (current) buffer. Even if you figure out that it means that it is the last bookmark that was used in the (current) buffer that is inserted, it's not clear where that is inserted. And in fact it is inserted nowhere - it is simply provided as the default value for the bookmark name. Also, is it correct for the doc string to say this? Set a bookmark named NAME inside a file. Why "inside a file"? Nowadays you can set bookmarks in Info etc. (granted, ultimately that is a file, but it is not what the doc string suggests). Also, no reason to quote "push" in the doc string.
